Our daughter Alexandria was born still on June 20, 2011. This group has helped me a lot in dealing with her death and I was wondering if there's a support group geared especially for the dads?

I am sure if you check around online you will be able to find one. I don't know of any personally. HOPE YOU FIND ONE!!

I am not aware of one. Myself and "JaydensDaddy" are the two dads that I am aware of on here. I'm not on quite as much as I had been, as it has been 10 months since we lost our John Evan, but I still log on from time to time.

I think it would be great if we could find a way to get our husbands together online. I know my husband often feels overlooked. I'm not sure why people worry more about mommies than they do daddy's. My husband has told me that he understands that we are hurting in different ways, but when he tries to talk to someone about our daughter, they always seem to respond, "oh my goodness, how is your wife doing?" When mother's day rolled around, I recieved heart felt cards from his own family....my poor dear husband didn't recieve a single card from his family on father's day. :o( I wish they weren't so neglected.
